I'm a big fan of stories with ice queens, so I was very excited to see this book released. While the stories are short, they are all enjoyable. Each has an ice queen as a lead character and have romance that makes their cold hearts melt. I highly recommend to anyone who likes this subgenre of lesfic.

Thank you to Netgalley for providing me with an ARC.
When I first found this book I mostly wanted to read it because I'm a big fan of Erin Zak's writing and her other books, but I ended up really enjoying the other two stories as well.
Ice on Whells was the first thing I've ever read by Aurora Rey and I liked it. It wasn't my favorite though, probably mostly because I'm not a big fan of derby and I didn't understand a lot of the references when reading about it which left me confused a lof of the time. I enjoyed the characters and I always enjoy a good ''ice queen'' in a novel.
I really enjoyed Closed Door by Erin Zak. I always enjoy her writing and her characters. I think it was my favorite story out of the three although I felt like the ending might have been a little rushed. Other than that I really liked it. I really liked both the main characters Atlanta and Caroline, the chemistry between the two was great. I thought the age gap in this story was quite interesting since the teacher was actually younger than the student which is something I've never read before but really intrigued me.
I was a little nervous going into Private Equity by Elle Spencer since I've read one of her other novels previously and it wasn't my favorite. I really enjoyed this one though and I'll definently pick up another one of her books in the future and give her a second chance. I thought the writing was great, the characters, the chemistry between them, the plot, I really enjoyed it all.
This is definently a good book to pick up if you want three quick and fun but still well written and interesting stories. The ice Queen theme is definently a plus since I always enjoy ice queen characters in books.

An honest review thanks to NetGalley. Wow. This was a great read, these three authors did a fantastic job weaving their stories with the cold 'ice queens' and their journeys. These were very engaging and passionate novellas, so very happy that I picked this up!

Who doesn’t love ice queens? As [a:Roslyn Sinclair|16694194|Roslyn Sinclair|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1504715167p2/16694194.jpg] (who knows her ice queens) wrote, “Any fan of ice queens knows that what makes an ice queen irresistible is when she finally reaches melting point”. To end the year in the best way, Bold Strokes Books gives us three ice queens, in three novellas, by three different authors, and the result is both fun and hot, as should be. I enjoyed all three, for different reasons.
The first novella is Ice on Wheels by [a:Aurora Rey|13652923|Aurora Rey|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1439239232p2/13652923.jpg]. Brooke, aka Femme Fatale, has been holding a huge grudge against Riley, aka Moby Dyke, since last season’s Louisiana Women’s Roller Derby championship, when Riley’s last block against Brooke lost the latter’s team the title. When they end up on the same team for the new season, and working for the same company, Riley tries her best to charm her way back into Brooke’s good books, or at least to a civil relationship.
Brooke is not so much an ice queen as a bruised one. I liked how Riley is such a natural charmer, mostly unaware of how much space she takes but willing to turn the charm down if it helps Brooke feel more comfortable. I like that she doesn’t understand how being so nice could be a “bad” thing but she’s willing to do it anyway. No ego there.
The pace is excellent, Brooke’s change of heart is totally believable, the chemistry between both characters works well, and the novella-length is perfect.
The second novella, Closed-Door Policy by [a:Erin Zak|17290455|Erin Zak|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1514712377p2/17290455.jpg], is an age gap teacher/student romance, but this time, the teacher is a lot younger than the student. Caroline Stevens’ life completely changed after she was shot doing her job as a nurse in Chicago. Her husband left her and she moved to Sedona, Arizona to be closer to her daughter and her family. She enrols in an eight-week college program to get her teaching certificate and apply for a job as a nursing instructor. One of her classes is creative writing, taught by Dr Atlanta Morris, an incredibly talented and bitchy young teacher, who also happens to be supposed to mentor her.
The characters are great, even if I wanted to shake Atlanta more than once. I really liked Caroline’s trio of college students friends, the way they take her in as one of their own despite the age difference. I wish there had been more about the daughter, she seemed fun and I enjoyed the family dynamics.
Caroline’s real attraction to a woman for the first time at 55 goes surprisingly unchallenged (her barely-there doubts are mentioned a few times but never beyond the surface), and I didn’t completely believe that waiting eight weeks was really so difficult when not doing so meant fatally endangering Atlanta’s career. Which also led to a rather rushed ending. It was still fun to read, even so.
My favourite novella of the three is Private Equity by [a:Elle Spencer|6951937|Elle Spencer|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1365005738p2/6951937.jpg]. Julia is definitely an ice queen but when we meet her, the thawing has already begun, unbeknownst to her chief of staff Cassidy. When Julia, her tough and cold-hearted venture capitalist boss, asks to tag along to her friend Sarah’s birthday party, Cassidy can’t say no. She can’t say no either when Julia pretends to be her girlfriend so that Sarah will stop trying to fix her up with totally inappropriate women. As her closest collaborator, Cassidy has seen sides of Julia most people don’t know, most notably as the mother of a precocious five-year-old daughter, and these glimpses into her more private self make her impossible to resist, even though she’s straight and her boss, and all that.
This novella is so very Elle Spencer. It’s hilarious and moving, well-written, sarcastic and sweet at the same time. While it doesn’t feel rushed, or crammed or anything, this story is one I could absolutely see as a longer novel.
I received a copy from the publisher and I am voluntarily leaving a review.

I enjoyed reading this anthology with an Ice Queen theme. I went in knowing I could count on Rey and Zak to entertain but the real surprise for me was Elle Spencer’s Private Equity, my favourite of the bunch.
Ice on Wheels by Aurora Rey
I don’t know much about roller derby but it certainly is a butch wonderland. The nicknames of the girls on the team are worth the price of the book alone. So entertaining.
Riley and Brooke go from warring blocker and jammer on opposing teams to warring team mates when Riley moves to New Orleans and joins Brooke’s team. Their attraction is undeniable and Riley does her best to push down the blocks Brooke throws up between them. Let the strategizing and gamesmanship begin. I did think the Hot Ice in this story was the big chip on Brooke’s shoulder. Grow up girl and see what’s right in front of you.
Closed Door Policy by Erin Zak
An age gap romance which flips the ice queen to the younger end of the gap. Easy to admire Caroline and root for her to find some happiness. Much harder to like the contrary Atlanta. From her perspective, I can understand her reticence to get involved with a student she is so clearly smitten with but her behaviour comes off more as immaturity and petulance. In hindsight, it's a good thing the ice queen is generally the older one in a couple. Makes me less likely to want to slap some sense into her. I did enjoy this read and all my emotional responses while reading it.
Private Equity by Elle Spencer
Julia Whitmore is a venture capitalist and Cassidy Bennett is her Chief of Staff. Sounds boring but when told in first person from the love struck Cassidy’s point of view it pops and sizzles. Her inner monologue is funny and endearing. Her attraction to her boss, the untouchable IQ herself makes for some great inner dialogue. The writing was lively and fun. Reminded me of Melissa Brayden and that's always a plus.

ARC received via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
This is a compilation of novellas by three authors I like, so choosing it as an ARC was a no brainer.
The first story is by Aurora Rey and features MCs Brooke and Riley who are in opposing roller derby teams and then become team mates, they also end up working together. Both characters are likeable, but Brooke does not like Riley for most of the story, and watching Riley work around this was pretty fun. I enjoyed the roller derby stuff too, it’s not a sport I’ve ever read about in lesfic before. I wouldn’t have minded a longer version of this. 3.5 stars
The second story is Close Door Policy by Erin Zak, and was the weakest of the three. It features MC Atlanta, a tenured professor about to teach an extension course and Caroline, who used to be a nurse and is now trying to get a teaching certificate. The premise was interesting in that though this is teacher/student the student is older. Atlanta had a issue with a student relationship previously and is therefore a bitch to Caroline to try and hide her attraction. This doesn’t work at all because everyone but Caroline knows about it. They also don’t need to hold out very long to make this an non-issue once they admit feelings for each other (2 weeks) but still can’t manage it. This is one of my biggest pet peeves. It’s hardly likely with what was on the line, that two grown ass women wouldn’t be able to hold off on the sexy times for two freaking weeks. Anyway, I didn’t like most of their relationship, so I didn’t care whether they got together or not. 2.5 stars
The final book is Private Equity by Elle Spencer, and it was easily my favourite. It features Julia, who is a corporate big wig and her chief of staff Cassidy. They’re in Seattle (with Julia’s 5year old daughter Lily) to do work on some business deals. I loved both characters and how their relationship unfolded. Lily was a delight and I loved her interactions with Cassidy, the side story with Cassidy’s parents was also interesting. I really wish this had been a full length novel, I’d have liked to see what Spencer did with those storylines with more time. 4 stars.
Overall, I liked two of these quite a bit, and would have read the longer version of both. The other not so much. Probably 3.75 overall, rounded up.

barbrokatrin's review against another edition
3.0
Received an ARC from Netgalley in exchange for a honest review. I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own
In “Ice on Wheels” by Aurora Rey I found Brooke to be annoying. It was such a small little thing to get angry over, and it happened 4 months before. It’s sports, sometimes you lose and sometimes you win. Holding a grudge against someone who beat you fair and square in a competition is childish. Get over it!
I would not describe Brooke as an Ice Queen, more as a childish, jealous and bitchy woman not being able to let go and move on. Her friends saw it as a crush, I saw it as being childish cause Riley bested her and took the “spotlight” when she showed up at practice and work.
And I don’t get the 180 in Brooke’s attitude. One minute she’s bitching to her friend about Riley, the next she wants to know Riley’s life story and plays games with her. I do not see the attraction, from either side. It just happened without any real build up in my opinion. There was no chemistry between the MCs.
I don’t feel connected to this story and I barely managed to finish it. I would have given this 2 stars if I read it on its own.
“Closed Door Policy” by Erin Zak. I’ve read 2 Erin Zak books before, one I really loved and one I felt was just okay.
Already from the first page I can tell that I’ll love this book. I really loved MC Caroline and her family. I caught myself smiling like an idiot several times. I really loved 55 yo Caroline’s friendship with the 20-something Kate,Kelli and Michael. I liked the difference in ages of all the characters. I really loved Caroline, she’s light and fun. Really loved the build up between the two MCs Atlanta and Caroline. I also loved that not everyone in the story was lesbian/gay. It annoys me when the MCs (obviously) and every single of their friends is gay, so this was refreshing to read. I love that there isn’t really any panic and thoughts like “omg I have feelings for a woman, I’ve always been with men, does this mean that I’m gay now?!”.
Only thing I found annoying is that they could have waited. It’s always nerve wrecking when people do stuff they can get fired for.
But I really loved this short story and would have loved this as a whole book with more build up and more romance. But all in all I would have given this a solid 4 stars on its own.
“Private Equity” by Elle Spencer. I’ve read 2 Elle Spencer books and I loved them both, especially “Casting Lacy”. I usually love the way she writes, and they way she builds up the chemistry and the characters. The emotion and angst that she puts into her stories.
It took me a little while to get used to the writing style in this book, but once I did I really liked the story. I liked the relationship between MC Julia and Cassidy, and the relationship between Cassidy and Julia’s daughter Lily. Sadly there wasn’t much time to get a real build up and depth to the characters. But it was a cute story, I just wish it was a lot longer :) I would give this a 3 on account of the length and not much of a build up :)
All in all I would rated this as a solid 3 :)

‘Hot ice’ is a compilation of three lesbian novellas by Bold Strokes Books authors Aurora Rey, Erin Zak and Elle Spencer, all romances with an ice-queen protagonist.
‘Ice on wheels’ by Aurora Rey is a story centered around roller derby. Brooke Landry loves being part of roller derby team ‘Big Easy Bruisers’ and her job as a real state agent. When her disliked rival Riley Fauchet relocates and joins Brooke’s team and her same company, sparks fly and not of the romantic type. As time goes by and both women get to know each other, there is a possibility of friendship or even something deeper, if only Brooke could listen to her heart…
I have to admit that I know nothing about roller derby but readers don’t need any previous knowledge to appreciate the story. Ms. Rey makes the most of the fast and furious sports action and the initial antagonism between the main characters. It’s fun, romantic and sexy. 4 stars.
‘Closed-door policy’ by Erin Zak is an age-gap romance between a young college professor and her mature student. After a life-changing incident, nurse Caroline Stevens got divorced from her long-time husband and decided on a career change. In her early 50s, she’s living with her adult daughter, working as a bartender and going back to college. In a creative writing class, she meets lecturer Dr. Atlanta Morris who is famous for her icy attitude and heavy criticism. Despite a rocky start, Caroline cannot deny being attracted to Atlanta, the first woman she’s sexually interested in her life. But Atlanta doesn’t seem interested in Caroline, or is she?
This is a teacher-student relationship in which, unusually, the student is the older of the two. There is a slow build-up of chemistry between the characters in and outside the classroom and the secondary characters are all distinctive and well-written. The ending is a bit rushed but this is a novella after all. 3.5 stars.
In ‘Private equity’ by Elle Spencer, Cassidy Bennett is chief of staff for successful venture capitalist Julia Whitmore, known for being reserved and fierce. After they spend an unexpected evening at a lesbian nightclub, Cassidy gets to know another side of her aloof boss and she cannot stop desiring more.
This is your typical workplace romance between an ice-queen boss and an easygoing employee. It reminded me of some of Lee Winter’s books because of that larger-than-life personality of Julia and Cassidy’s sweetness. Ms. Spencer knows how to develop their relationship and get their chemistry to off-the-charts levels. Really entertaining and hot. This was my favourite of the three. 4.5 stars.
Overall, a very good compilation of lesbian novellas with the appealing theme of ice-queens. 4 stars average.
